The metal detector is ready for operation one minute after it has
been energized.
The web should not cover the outmost 20 mm of the probe sur-
face, as these probe sections do not detect any metal parts.
Test the correct operation of the metal detector daily before start-
ing the machine. For this purpose introduce a metal particle fixed
to a plastic rod into the sensing range of the detector and check
whether a signal is triggered.
The probe head must not be mechanically strained. It may not be
used either as a ladder or support during service work or as a de-
posing surface.
24V DC
Connector for linking to the operating voltage of 24 V DC, power in-
put approx. 36 W (depending on length).
CAN
Connector for linking to a CAN bus.
The total length of the CAN bus line must not exceed 200 meters.
Both ends of the CAN bus line must feature a terminating resistor
connector.
The LED indicates whether the CAN bus card in the metal detector
is working properly. If the green LED goes on, there are no malfunc-
tions, if the LED lights up
red,
there is a
malfunction
.
RESET
Connector for linking to a potential-free external pushbutton used to
reset signal output 1. The input has the same function as the RESET
push button on the command device.
WEB SPEED
Connector for linking to an incremental encoder used to detect the
web speed. The incremental encoder signal is required for evaluating
signal output 2.
Recommended metering wheel circumference 0.5 m, 100 pulses per
revolution
OUTPUT
Connector for linking to signal outputs 1 and 2, the "operational"-indi-
cation output and a further reset input.
Signal outputs may be configured via parameters, see commis-
sioning.
